Where to start with your Hydro Garden?

Well, as the name implies, Hydroponics starts with water.  You must have an adequate water supply for your garden.  Hydroponics systems like Emily’s Garden are good for getting started and growing a small amount of plants. For a more ambitious undertaking and bigger plants you will want to make sure you have plenty of water.  Larger reservoirs are needed and they typically make it easier to balance the PH.

As far as the water supply goes; the options and opinions vary but the general concensus is that you can’t go wrong with an RO (reverse osmosis) system for your hydroponic garden, as long as you provide the correct measurment of nutrients.   You want to add a good, high quality, hydroponic nutrient solution supplying your plants with the proper nutrients in the correct ratios.

Your hydroponics store should be able to tell you exactly which nutrients you need for your type of  system and water supply.
